of the ordinary construction and the lights are connected to a suitable power source and arecontrolled by a single switch or a plurality of inde endent switches. he mun-- her plate is t en attached to th 'reflectm' plate 1 and detached therefrom n such a position that the light given oil" by the center lamp bulb will e directed down against rthe face of the number plate thereby making the numbers thereon readily visible. It will also be apparent that the central light will shine through the lens 12 and the use of the ordinary type of tail lamp will be eliminated. When the operator is desirous of 15 making a turn either to the right or left the 'control switch for the ,signal is thrown to either position and it will be evident that the letters forming the words will 'appenr illuminated while the ground will remain dark. In this way it will be seen that the signal may readily be given and persons approaching the vehicle can easily determine in what direction the operator will travel.
